Lodging business in New Zealand

“I have stayed at the hotel twice and it is impeccably clean and modern. It's very new and finished to a good standard, the staff are helpful. The hotel is excellent value at the current rates.”

“I have never stayed in a self-catering 3-star hotel as beautiful and tranquil as this one. The house layout is perfect for more than one family, with bedrooms downstairs and a large open kitchen/entertaining area upstairs. We were lucky to have amazing weather most evenings, which allowed us to enjoy dinner outside. The venue has outdoor seating and a large dining table. The venue's biggest selling point is its stunning view of Enclosure Bay, which changes dramatically with the tides. At low tide, it was a great experience for the kids to explore the rock pools, while at high tide, it provided a protected bay to swim in. I recommend wearing water shoes, as there are many rocks. Overall, this is a fantastic venue with many nearby attractions on the island to keep you busy, such as Stony Batter, Man O' War, and various Art Trails.”

“Great place to rent bedroom with shared living areas. Recently renovated”

“We had a fantastic stay here. The relaxed old house charm is a nice change from corporate hostel chains (which I frequently also use). We also met some really nice people staying here - it attracts a nice, laid back crowd. Plus if you like a breathtaking sunset every night, it is literally 5 minutes from the peak of Mount Eden (an extinct volcano). Finally, you know the U2 song, One Tree Hill? The veranda at Yaping House overlooks that very same One Tree Hill they are singing about. Recommended for a relaxed stay of a week or more.”

“Welcoming hosts, delicious bedding, great location...stunning views, best size teacups.... devine....will be back again in the future..”

“All you could want and more. Great facilities & hosts.”

“A real artist producing very clever designs that incorporate among other things their love of Art Deco and the buildings and images of Napier and Hawked Bay. Off the shelf from small coasters through to large platters and also freehand pottery. Also do a great range of items with images and wording chosen by the client for specific birthday wedding and thank you gifts. Should you take the opportunity of staying with Penny and Mike you will be assured of the friendliest and most personable company leaving you with find memories of your time in Hawkes Bay New Zealand.”

“We stayed here for 3 weeks. The room was excellent. Full furnished, clean and neat. The owner was also very welcome. I wish I could stay here in another trip.”

“Excellent set up, really helpful. Nice spa!”

“Wide fields, lovely to park my campervan for a night. No electricity though. Has a dump station.”

“What a lovely quiet spot. The Auckland Waterfall Garden BnB is in a new area with lots of new homes. It's easy to get to and close to the airport, Mt Wellington etc. Although there are planes going over, night time was quiet and peaceful. It's clean, fresh, new, relaxing home away from home. Lovely host. It's sure to be a place we'll stay again.”

“Very friendly welcoming great accommodation. Location central to all our needs. The owner of the motel was caring and would recommend this motel as a place to stay”

“lovely lady owner. luxurious view. Clean and spacious. Can't ask for more for a stay in Auckland.”
